New partner in crime Rachel was up for a weekend away so we set off to Swedenrsquos fourth largest city Uppsala.Uppsala is a city famous for its university its cathedral and as the longtime home of Carl Linnaeus for the http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-420064.html today we packed it in and took the train where a friend picked us up. we went to a viking museum and church viking burial ground where cheiftans were buried under hugh mounds I think with their ships and assorted stuff. then we went to the university and to the kings palace and then over to Gabor's house for dinner. His wife is from Srilanka and fixed us a home town dinner. great and now w http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-417928.html 29609We arrived back in Uppsala in the early afternoon. Our friends had made plans to go for a swim at the lake which sounded great as it was quite hot. We got ourselves organised and drove down Linnea had her mum's fancy black convertable car and Karen went with her.It's funny how Scandinavians make the most of what little Sun they get by flocking to small grassymuddy beaches. We had a nice http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-416894.html OverviewWe mainly came to Uppsala to meet some friends by proxy for Midsummer's Eve. It was a great party and everyone has been wonderful. We've even had some nice sunny weather which has been just dandy The first half of our time here we spent with Jen and she's been really good to us. She's shown us around and explained the history of the town. She also organised a night at Buddy's bar to i http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-410584.html I arrived in Uppsala safe and sound with a little help from Oskar and Anna. If they had not agreed to drive me to the train station I would have had to drag my huge bags two miles along the road in the pouring rain so I was very happy for their helpUppsala is a university town with about 200000 people so it is significantly larger than Mora. The hospital is a University Hospital so the doctor http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-409196.html Hi we made it to Sweden and are in great shape. Everyone has gone to bed already because the only problem was that no one got much sleep. The trip was excellent. When we were driving up hear Evan said this is now his new favorite fun day ever That's pretty amazing after 18 hours of travel and me saying don't touch that 30 times already. Norah was very excited when we got to Sweden. We're in http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-380586.html The festive season is a time to celebrate with family. After a wonderful Christmas in Sweden in 2007 we were thrilled to be invited to spend another Christmas with Maria's parents especially as it would be Liam's first visit from Santa. This year though the Nylund family were almost outnumbered by Aussies as Adam's parents and Kyrie came from Australia to celebrate the festive season. For the f http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-362477.html The preholiday in Sweden went really fast too fast for my liking. The last three days was very eventful Kajsa and Mike came up from Linkoping on Friday just after Steve had managed to chop a bit of his finger off whilst chopping the peppers for the evening meal. Kristina my mum felt extremely guilty because she was the one that had asked Steve to help out in the kitchen Erik my dad was http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Uppsala-County/Uppsala/blog-346524.html So its a myth that its either sunny or snowy here in Sweden Its the first time I've been here in November and the weather is the same as we left back in England.

We caught the train out to Uppsala third largest city in Sweden and then bus out to Gamla Upsala the old part of Uppsala.
